Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned Walkthrough & Strategy Guide

The beginning of this mission shows just how complex the story can get in Grand Theft Auto IV. This mission can be started in one of two ways. After killing Vlad, you can either call Roman or Roman will call you. Once this occurs, he'll tell you to meet him at the a bar on Mohawk Avenue, so head down there and drive into the arrows in front of the establishment. A humorous (yet strangely serious) cutscene will follow in which Roman, scared of repercussions from Vlad's murder, is hiding in a dumpster. It's not that funny, though, because Roman and Niko really are being followed! A man with a machinegun walks up to them and takes them to an unknown location where you get to meet the people Vlad was working for. After a lengthy cutscene at the house of the boss, you'll realize they didn't like Vlad that much anyway. For the time being, you're working for them. As for Roman, well... he has a gunshot wound to deal with.

The boss's lieutenant orders you to find a cop car. That's your first order of business. When you find yourself outside, take a look at your map. You're at the far southern end of the borough, near Memory Lanes (where you took Michelle out on your first date). Finding a cop car, especially a parked, abandoned one, is going to be a bit of a crapshoot. Here's your best bet (without being too verbose) -- drive around until you spot a cop driving his squad car. Ram him to get him out of the car. Then, quickly kill him (and his partner if applicable) and jack their car. Ride around until you lose your wanted level. Remember to keep the cop car in good shape, because you're going to need it for a particular reason forthcoming.
